Sound Scattering by a Flexible Plate Embedded on Free Surface

Figure 2

Zoomed views on the contour levels of the pressure amplitude as were calculated by the spectral and time-marching scheme approaches in the presence a rigid floating plate of 1 m radius and an incoming sound wave of 3000 Hz. The computational domain is stretched up to  m and  m. There are nine contour plots ranging from 0.5 to 4.5, where the solid lines denote the spectral solution, and the dashed lines denote the time-marching solution.
